intake plenum

Which bolts are you talking about? You have to remove the bolt attaching the fuel rail from the bottom, the nut is welded on the top. Remove the coolant overflow bottle, you don't have to drain it. Under the plenum you will feel 2 bolts attaching the throttle linkage. I think they are 13mm, but could be wrong. You will need various sockets/extensions and or wrenches to get on the suckers. The throttle linkage is spring loaded, and is a real PITA to get back on! Then there is another bolt further aft attaching the plenum to a support bracket.

While you're in there you might as well change the motor mount.
